The jobs recovery has been spotty so far but a new report shows hiring is up across the board.
Job listings were up in May from a year earlier in all 12 industries tracked by Indeed.com, a search engine for job listings.
"It's a very encouraging sign — it's the first time we've seen all 12 industries showing year-over-year growth," said Paul Forster, CEO of Indeed.com. "There was quite a bit of seasonal hiring earlier this year and now that's translating into more permanent hires," Forster said.
U.S. & World
Transportation saw the biggest increase, according to Indeed.com, with listings up a whopping 67 percent from last year.
This was particularly encouraging, considering that some economists expect the government report to show most of the hiring in May was for census workers.
"We've seen quite a strong recovery in manufacturing, which is fed through transportation," Forster explained. "It's an industry that has a lot of leverage — once economic activity returns, demand for transportation increases."
Most of that is hiring drivers — three out of five of the top transportation-job titles included the word "drivers." There is also strong demand for help in warehouses.
The top cities for transportation job listings were Houston, Atlanta and New York City.
Retail and hospitality rounded out the top three industries showing the biggest increases in hiring.
"These sectors had a strong bounceback because they did particularly badly during the recession," Forster said. "On the other end of the scale, health care has hardly shown any increase over last year because they never really went into recession in that industry," Forster said.
Retail listings jumped 53 percent from last year. Customer-service representatives were in the most demand, followed by marketing coordinators and marketing managers.
And hospitality listings jumped 49 percent as more hotels and restaurants ramped up hiring for the summer travel season. Housekeepers, cooks and restaurant managers are among the most in demand.
The top cities for hiring in both retail and hospitality were New York, Atlanta and Chicago.
This comes after employer-services firm ADP reported that private companies added 55,000 jobs to their payrolls in May and outsourcing consultant Challenger reported planned layoffs were down 65 percent in May from a year earlier.
The numbers are closely watched ahead of the government's May employment report, due out on Friday. Economists expect to see 513,000 jobs were added to nonfarm payrolls last month, after a 290,000 increase in the prior month.
Social media is an increasingly important part of hiring, with Twitter, Facebook, iPhone , blogger and social media among the top 10 words appearing in job listings. Among the others were cloud computing, corporate social responsibility and pediatrician.
Overall, the cities with the best odds for getting a job are Washington, DC, and San Jose, Calif., according to the latest geographic employment report from Indeed, which was for April. Those cities have one unemployed person per job listing. Miami and Los Angeles were the worst, with 8 or more unemployed people for each job listing.
"There's definitely still some nervousness" among hiring managers, Forster said. "But I think it's tempered — there's generally a lot more optimism than there was six months ago."
"I think it's a good prognosis — a positive first sign for the future," he said.

If you thought the concept of all six "Star Wars" movies in 3D was strong enough to sell itself, you're probably right. But Lucasfilm is still going to take the opportunity to make sure the kick-off release of "The Phantom Menace" is an all-out event. And how will they do that? With swag, of course!
Early-adopting theater-goers attending special screenings in select theaters in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Atlanta, Denver, and Phoenix will be handed a pair of Anakin Skywalker Podracer 3D glasses in lieu of the standard, cataracts glasses you get at typical Real3D screenings, and an exclusive Star Wars "Fighter Pods" collectible toy (please let it be Jek Porkins).
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Additionally, theaters will be offering Darth Maul face-painting, character appearances (please let it be Jek Porkins), and demo kiosks of the upcoming Xbox Kinect "Star Wars" game. In other words, this is an all-in Star Wars-a-palooza, one that raises the question: What do they have planned for Episodes II through VI (coming out in 3D once a year for the next six years)? But the time "Return of the Jedi 3D" arrives, you'll likely get to watch it from Billy Dee Williams' lap.
These special screenings will start February 10th and run through the 12th. The 10 participating theaters are:
New York
AMC Empire 25
AMC Garden State 16
Los Angeles
AMC Tustin 14 at The District
AMC Ontario Mills 30
AMC South Barrington 30
San Francisco
AMC Emeryville Bay Street 16
AMC Loews Liberty Tree Mall 20
AMC Southlake 24
AMC Highlands Ranch 24
AMC Mesa Grand 24
"Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" opens in 3D starting February 9th

Walker to tour state to get ideas for next budget
Governor to get feedback on budget priorities
MADISON, Wis. — Gov. Scott Walker is launching a tour across Wisconsin to gather ideas about what should be prioritized in his next state budget and legislative agenda for next year.
Green Bay on Tuesday is the first stop in the "Talk with Walker Tour" the governor announced on Monday. He is scheduled to be in La Crosse later in the week with other stops in the works for Eau Claire, Wausau and the Milwaukee area.
Walker told The Associated Press in a Monday interview that the goal is to get people involved in the process of his putting together his agenda for next year.
Walker has already said he will be focusing on creating jobs, developing the workforce, education and government reforms and investing in roads, railways and other infrastructure needs.
In the new budget, Walker will have to decide how to balance his priorities and how to use a projected $1.5 billion in new revenue over the next two years.
Walker on Monday downplayed the possibility of a gas tax increase or the use of toll roads to pay for transportation projects in Wisconsin.
The state Department of Transportation's budget request is recommending delaying work on an expansion of Interstate 90 from Madison to the Illinois state line, Milwaukee's Zoo Interchange and numerous other projects around the state.
Walker said he is inclined to keep the Interstate 39 and Zoo Interchange projects on schedule without delaying other projects.
"The question becomes, how can you do that balancing out the resources that are available without delaying other projects around the state of Wisconsin? Because I think that's also a viable concern," Walker said.
The Wisconsin Council on Children and Families said things such as early childhood education would be an investment that would show even higher returns for the state.Walker to tour state to get ideas for next budget
"When I think of infrastructure, we do need things like roads and bridges and things like that, but we also need to balance that with the support of our human infrastructure, which is education and health care and other support for Wisconsin families," said Ken Taylor, executive director of the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families.

What Happened at the Grammys?
The Grammys finally gave their first award for a Hawaiian Music Album. So why are so many Island musicians unhappy?
(page 1 of 3)
It felt like nothing short of a victory for Hawaii when the Grammy Awards announced the creation of a Best Hawaiian Music Album category last year. After nearly 20 years of fighting for a place in the national spotlight, Hawaiian music would get the recognition it deserved at the 2005 Grammy Awards. Finally.
Local newspapers and TV stations covered the competition among the five nominees extensively. Island superstars Kealii Reichel and The Brothers Cazimero were the consensus favorites. Hookena's latest album and another by Amy Hanaialii Gilliom and Willie K seemed like close contenders.
No matter who took home the prize, everyone in the industry insisted, the Grammy would be a win for all Hawaiian music.
That tune changed dramatically on Feb. 13, when the winner of the first-ever Hawaiian Music Album category was announced at a pre-telecast ceremony in Los Angeles. The Grammy went to producer Charles Michael Brotman's Slack Key Guitar Vol. 2. The compilation featuring 10 guitarists, including Brotman, was the only instrumental album in the category.
In the Hawaiian music community, there was shock and dismay. Produced by Brotman's small, independent label on the Big Island, Slack Key Guitar Vol. 2 was the last album many industry insiders expected to win. Many were surprised that it was even nominated. "Charles Who?" some kamaaina asked when news of the winner hit the Islands.
Even the nominees couldn't hide their disbelief.
"I was surprised. All the surveys and polls that were taken in Hawaii indicated Kealii was the winner, with the other vocal groups in contention," says Jim Linkner, who co-produced Reichel's Grammy-nominated album, Kealaokamaile, which had swept the Na Hoku Hanohano Awards in 2004.
Hookena's group leader, Manu Boyd, says Slack Key Guitar Vol. 2 was not "as strong a contender" as the other nominees.
Gilliom didn't expect her own album to come out on top, but "for The Brothers Cazimero not to win was mind boggling," she says. "They have been my mentors."
The inaugural Grammy Award for Hawaiian music set off a wave of controversy back home, among some members of the music industry as well as the Hawaiian community. Many argued that the Grammy should have gone to a Hawaiian-language album, rather than an instrumental.
"When something like that wins the first award, it hurts me," says Kahauanu Lake, who is as widely respected for his commitment to preserving the Hawaiian culture as he is for his musical accomplishments. "The most important thing is the language—vocalized, like chanting or singing. That's more important than slack key will ever be, to me. It takes Hawaiian judges to judge it, not Mainland people, who don't know Hawaiian music."
The artists featured on Slack Key may not be as well known as the other nominees, with the exception of John Cruz, who scored a big hit in 1997 with "Island Style" from his Hoku Award-winning album Acoustic Soul. Most play low-profile gigs and at family luau, but they have had an influence on contemporary Hawaiian music.
Randy Lorenzo played with Gabby Pahinui in the '70s and was a member of Country Comfort and The Peter Moon Band. Bryan Kessler co-founded the hit '90s group Hawaiian Style Band. John Keawe is a recipient of the Hoku's prestigious Ki Hoalu (slack key) award in 2002, and Sonny Lim is a member of the talented Lim family.
Brotman has lived in Hawaii since the '70s. After teaching at the University of Hawaii Music Department, he co-founded Palm Records with his sister Jody in 1997 in Kamuela.
Despite the group's credentials, the controversy continued, even as Slack Key's sales skyrocketed to No. 1 on both Billboard's World Music and New Age charts. A far cry from its debut in 2003. It had sold well for an instrumental album at Borders, but hardly soared up the local music charts, receiving scant airplay on Island radio stations.
Lilikala Kameeleihiwa, director of the Center for Hawaiian Studies at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, dismisses the win as a result of "non-natives voting for non-natives."
"The sound of slack key, drumming, ipu and ukulele is beautiful by itself, but it's missing what's most important, which is olelo Hawaii, (Hawaiian language), the voice of our ancestors," says Kameeleihiwa. "To have a group win with no [Hawaiian] words, was astounding and ridiculous, because the word is what is important here. The poetry makes the music."
The Hawaiian music industry wanted the national recognition a Grammy would bring, but it apparently didn't want a bunch of Mainlanders—presumably with much less knowledge of Hawaiian culture—to vote on who should receive the award.

Arts Council CEO Dave Lawrence '90 Offers Funding Idea for Indy Organizations
December 13, 2012
"Funding was top of mind Monday night when local arts luminaries gathered at UIndy to discuss the state of local arts at 'Why Arts? Why Indy?," notes today's Indianapolis Star. "Little did the audience know that Dave Lawrence, president and CEO of the Arts Council of Indianapolis, was in the audience armed with a possible solution." (photo: Michelle Pemberton/Star)
Neal Taflinger reports, "On Wednesday night, the Arts Council announced a partnership with power2give, a crowd-funding site devoted to improving the fortunes of not-for-profit arts organizations. Indianapolis is the 12th market to use power2give and more than 60 organizations from throughout the eight-county area are promoting projects at Indyarts.org/power2give. Each proposal has 90 days to raise up to $10,000. 'This is not going to solve all funding-related problems,' said Lawrence, but is an attempt to connect with so-called Millenials, young people who prefer to give in small amounts online or via text."

The Jack Ridl Visiting Writers Series of Hope College will feature Hip Hop performance poetry by Toni Blackman on Tuesday, Nov. 18, at 7 p.m. at the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Poet Toni Blackman was the first Hip Hop artist selected to work as a Cultural Ambassador traveling with the U.S. State Department. She has performed in more than 16 countries and has shared the stage with a host of artists including Mos Def, Sheryl Crow, Sara McLachlan and Wu Tang Clan.
Hip Hop historian and poet Kevin Powell has said that "just as Langston Hughes and the Beat writers embraced jazz as a way to frame their pursuit of higher truths, Blackman grabs the mic literally as if life depended on it, carving for herself a space where words are sacred, and where her literary objectives soar."
Blackman is the author of "Inner-Course: A Plea for Real Love," published in 2003. She is currently at work on her debut album and on her second book.
A live performance by the Hope College Jazz Ensemble will precede the reading at the Knickerbocker beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Additional information may be obtained online by visiting www.hope.edu/vws.
The Knickerbocker Theatre is located at 86 E. Eighth St.

The Minnesota Vikings received some good news on Wednesday as both tight end Kyle Rudolph and safety Harrison Smith have been cleared to return after suffering concussions last week.
Rudolph and Smith both were forced to leave last Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears after taking blows to the head. According to Jon Krawczynski of the Associated Press, both are expected to be available for the Vikings match up against the Green Bay Packers this Sunday.
"To know that Kyle and Harrison have been cleared, that's a big deal," coach Leslie Frazier said. "They are two keys to our football team. The fact that Percy's going to attempt to do something today, that's encouraging. It's just a matter of how far he can go. That's a big deal to have those guys out there practicing."
Rudolph did not practice for the Vikings on Wednesday as he is also dealing with a sore shoulder that isn't expected to affect his availability. Smith was able to return to limited participation on Wednesday.
Rudolph has been one of quarterback Christian Ponder's more reliable targets this season, especially in the red zone. Rudolph has 39 catches for 361 yards and seven touchdowns on the season for the Vikings.
The return of wide receiver Percy Harvin is still a question mark. Harvin returned to limited participation in practice on Wednesday for the first time after suffering an ankle injury in Seattle three weeks ago.

If it looks like GameStop's 2009 holiday gift card was designed by a 12-year-old, that's because it was.
GameStop is donating $1 from every gift card purchased this holiday season to the Make-A-Wish foundation (up to $100,000), and they've gotten wish recipient Emily Adkins to pitch in with her own original artwork.
"During the holidays, we have a lot of parents and grandparents who want to buy games as gifts, but they aren't quite sure which title would be the right one," said Dan DeMatteo, chief executive officer for GameStop. "By selecting a gift card, gift givers can be assured the gamers on their lists will be thrilled, and they have the added bonus of helping a worthy charity like the Make-A-Wish Foundation."
Nice work Emily. I'd say I could do better, but that would be a) cruel and b) likely untrue.

Qui's latest LP, Snuh, extrapolates on their genre-bending brand of avant-garde rock. Working again with long time producer Toshi Kasai, the duo has integrated more shades of unlikely forms and timbres along with their always-present penchant for abrasive noise punk. Snuh is at once both playful and belligerent, switching abruptly from heavy to soft, screaming to crooning, sweet to hostile. The record also features cameo performances from Justin Pearson (The Locust, Retox, Head Wound City, Dead Cross), Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Melvins, John Zorn) Dale Crover (Melvins) and Adam Harding (Dumb Numbers).
In the years following the 2014 release of Life, Water, Living…, their last full-length, Qui have released a slew of singles, EPs, splits, and collaborations. Snuh is among their most ambitious records to date and will no doubt be a hit with fans of all things weird and obstinate.

Amid today's bankruptcies, foreclosures and unemployment, one industry is flourishing: vegetable seeds. This year, some suppliers have reported huge increases in seed sales while others have simply sold out. The reason? A grow-it-yourself trend that is germinating a 19-percent increase in home gardening, according to the National Gardening Association. First Lady Michelle Obama firmly implanted this trend on the national consciousness earlier this spring when she dug up her famous manicured backyard for an organic vegetable garden. So, why the sudden interest in returning to our roots?
"What we put on the table is a political statement." says Al Luloff, professor of rural sociology at Penn State. "I think we're saying we're tired of being tied to an agriculture industry that is no longer local. We're saying we want to know what's been added to our foods." People are also drawn to the "existential" experience gardening provides, he adds. "There's joy and pleasure in working the soil with your hands, and nothing tastes better than something you've grown yourself."
Today's trend "is really old wine in new bottles," Luloff says, pointing to America's long history of gardening during tough times. The economic depression of the late 19th Century sprouted a wave of community garden projects. A few decades later, as World War I and the Great Depression strained America's economy, gardening became a common way to seed self-sufficiency. During World War II, Eleanor Roosevelt planted a "victory" garden on the White House lawn, encouraging citizens to grow food themselves to conserve for the war effort. At their peak, victory gardens squeezed into backyards and community spaces provided 40 percent of America's fresh produce, notes Luloff.
We may be heading back to that era of self-sufficiency. Early this year, sustainable gardening activist Roger Doiron collected 100,000 signatures for his "Eat the View" campaign, which successfully petitioned our new President and First Lady to follow Eleanor Roosevelt's 1943 example. "When I started up this campaign," Doiron wrote in a New York Times blog post, "the goal was not only to alter the White House grounds, but our broader social and cultural landscape."
Though savings on skyrocketing food costs may be the main motivation for some gardeners, Luloff thinks there's more to it than money. "I don't think if the economy turns around tomorrow, President Obama's going to rip his garden out," he says. "In the larger view of things, sustainability and concern for the environment has a lot to do with this movement."
Industrial agriculture is the nation's fifth largest petroleum consumer, devouring 96 million barrels of oil to synthesize the fertilizer needed to grow crops where intensive cultivation has stripped the land of its nutrients, he notes. Food distribution guzzles an additional 45 million barrels, shipping the average tomato 1,500 miles from industrial farms in the Sunbelt to your salad.
People are recognizing the need for a more ecologically responsible approach, says Luloff. Just as environmentalists have long stressed the importance of watersheds, proponents of sustainable agriculture use the concept of the "foodshed" to illustrate the dilemmas of our present distribution system.
Traditionally, a city's demand for food supported agriculture in the surrounding region, Luloff explains. The larger the urban core, the larger the region of farmland it could support. "But we don't have a local foodshed today," he notes. "We took our farmland and turned it into homes, because we could bring in crops from Texas, Florida, and California at a price competitive with what we could grow here. Now the foodshed stretches from Arizona and Florida through Canada. We get our apples from Washington, our potatoes from Idaho, our fresh produce from overseas."
This sprawling arrangement has destroyed any notion of seasonality, Luloff says. "I remember a time when you anxiously awaited crops by seasons. Now you get those crops anytime you want." Children also lose something under this model, he adds. "All they see is these packaged goods. The connection between what we eat and where it comes from has been totally lost."
Luloff attributes the recent spike in home gardening partly to the growing popularity of organic food. Instead of paying a premium price for the guarantee that their food is as nature intended, he suggests, people today are looking to their gardens for a cheaper way to get that assurance.
"Anyone will say the stuff they grow on their own or pick off a tree is better than the produce they get at the store, even if it's only in their heads," he says. "There's nothing like picking corn or asparagus right from the patch and two minutes later steaming it and eating it," agrees Jacquie Johnson, a community garden organizer in State College, Pennsylvania. Apart from nourishing the body, gardens nourish the soul, she adds. "I think community gardens are not just pieces of land, but are ideas around which groups of people can bond and become community. A lot of us come home from work and wind up standing around chatting, and eating our dinner together right off the vine."
"Dinner is a political statement," Luloff emphasized. "Growing things in your back yard is empowering yourself to help feed your family, and to teach them the importance of nurturing the Earth. And if we nurture the Earth, the Earth will nurture us. I think that's a real political statement. Let's get our kids' hands back in the dirt."
A.E. Luloff, Ph.D, is professor of rural sociology in the College of Agricultural Sciences, and co-chair of the Human Dimensions of Natural Resources and the Environment Dual-Title Intercollege Graduate Degree Program. His email is email@example.com.

Based on the November 30th, 2012 Premium Update. Visit our archives for more gold & silver articles.
10 days ago, in our gold and silver stocks essay, we wrote that volatility in the mining stocks sector was mostly emotionally-driven. Since then some of that volatility seems to have transpired to the metals market. Gold dived $25 on Wednesday, immediately triggering rumors of misplaced trades or technical errors. The CME Group denied this had been the case and theories of a large player selling gold off in the morning sprung up like mushrooms.
Regardless of what was the case of the drop, one is clear: these are volatile times and the end of November has proved to be no exception. The month ends almost at the same price level where it began, with substantial action along the way. From this picture comes one conclusion which might be reassuring for gold bugs: the beginning of November turned out to be a local bottom.
The (short-term!) slide in October and the mixed developments in November come as no substantial pain to those of you who had decided to implement some of the ideas we had outlined in our essay on gold and silver portfolio structure. With November almost behind us, precious metals investors turn to December with hope of gold regaining its glitter just as the shops are being decorated for Christmas. One thing that could ruin gold investors' good mood is a repeat of what we saw during last December when gold declined approximately $200. Actually, gold trades very close to price levels that it traded at before the December 2011 decline begun.
To find out what might be in store for gold, let's turn to currency charts (charts courtesy of http://stockcharts.com).
We begin with a look at the long-term Euro Index chart. We do this because the overall situation in the currency markets is much clearer from this perspective. There is a flag pattern seen here following a sharp rally which is also a post-breakout consolidation.
As soon as the euro rallies a bit more, an even bigger rally will likely be seen. While a move to 131 would be significant, we would prefer to see the index surpass the 132 level (September high) before declaring that a significant additional rally is very likely. The flag pattern, a form of consolidation, implies that higher index values are more likely than not.
Turning now to the medium-term USD Index chart, a consolidation has been ongoing for over a month, and the index now appears ready to move lower. The decline and consolidation here are a reflection of the upswing and consolidation seen recently in the Euro Index.
All in all, the currency markets are likely to have positive impact on gold in the medium term.
Let's move on to the yellow metal itself - this time we decided to provide you with the look at gold from the Japanese yen perspective.
The most interesting thing visible on the above gold chart is that when gold declined recently, it allowed the price in yen to verify a move above its declining resistance line. This breakout was verified, and the RSI is no longer heavily overbought. The situation here is bullish.
Is a major bottom in? The recent signal from the SP Gold Stock Extreme Indicator #2 confirms this theory.
There was a strong buy signal seen earlier this month suggesting that the bottom is in. The rebound was seen and the outlook remains bullish as this indicator suggests at least a 2-week rally in gold, silver and mining stocks. Consequently, the bullish implications are still in place.
Summing up, the long-term Euro Index chart and the medium-term USD Index chart suggest that lower values might be more probable than not for the dollar in the medium term. Along with a bullish picture from the gold in Japanese yen chart, the implications here are medium-term bullish for precious metals.
Thank you for reading. Have a great weekend and profitable week!

Share this page :
Who is she?
Débora is a simple and natural woman who has her feet on the ground. She is characterized by the 4 which is connected with the planet Saturn and the earth signs (particularly Taurus or Capricorn) and confers her with an assertive character and a strong will; she is quite unimpressionable and very capable of taking the initiative. Because the 4 is karmic, her attitude towards her work can be quite extreme and most of the time, once she has started something she can´t let well enough alone, working relentlessly until she has finished. However at other times her complexes and inhibitions can be so powerful that they block her path and the opposite happens and carelessness and apathy are the result of her fear of failure. In effect, despite of the fact that she is thoughtful, strong-minded, frank and honest by nature; she nonetheless tends to doubt in herself and conceals her uncomfortable sensitivity behind a facade of apparent indifference. She loathes superficiality and is herself somebody who can be counted on and is as good as her word. Her moral code is strict and her standards are high, which means that she can lack tolerance; she considers that anything that she can do is also within the reach of others. The association of the 4 and the 5 is certainly no day at the beach, because the first tendency makes her attracted to the safety and reassurance of an uneventful life of routine, while the second drives her to seek perpetual change and adventure. She is capable of taking calculated risks and seizing the opportunities that present themselves to her with dynamism, initiative and a tremendous capacity for effort. Gentleness, pretentiousness, tolerance and submission aren´t words that she understands very well. She is a sensible child who doesn´t present any problems for her parents who should provide a flexible upbringing because strictness of any kind is liable to reinforce her already acute sense of duty. On the other hand her sociability will need to be encouraged by teaching her the value of giving, which will enable her to overcome her tendency to be possessive and controlling; as well as imparting her the benefits of approaching life with a sense of humour!
What does she like?
Débora appreciates a job well done, physical exercise, plants, animals and nature. Not the most sociable of characters, she cherishes solitude and her freedom and independence are dear to her. She enjoys change, movement and travel; while she is quick-thinking, swift and efficient. She would like to grow her own organic fruit and vegetables, cook delicious meals and make jam. Material comfort makes her feel secure. When it comes to demonstrations of love and affection, one must make allowances for her modesty and reserve, which can be crippling at times. Gentlemen, take note - a bunch of flowers won´t be enough to move her! Remember, she is a very practical person, so try that angle instead...
Get your free Personality test card now !!
What does she do?
Since she is characterized by the number 40, Débora could experience a certain amount of restriction and hardship, with regards to either her family or her health. Nevertheless, if fate deals her a blow she is quite capable of picking herself up and dusting herself off, and more often than not she tends to seek solace in her work, displaying a steely ambition. There a several possible directions that she could choose, which include: occupations related to the material realm and administration (banking, management, finance, economy, insurance...), occupations in connection with the earth, nature, animals or the craft industry as well as those requiring a reflection, analytical skills and a rational mind.

So long story shot, I literally just got a job today in Garden Grove, CA. The problem is that I had already bought tickets to TEN and BOLA way before I even applied for this job and quite frankly I didn't think I was going to get this job, which is why I bought the tickets with confidence. Not to mention that because I'm a lazy-ass, I don't have a car to be able to drive to Reseda for the shows. So what I'm asking here is if anybody is coming from the OC to the shows, if you could perhaps be willing to give me a ride to a least TEN? I'd be more than willing to pay for the cost of gas for the trip if that is what anybody is worried about.
If this is against board rules, then I am very sorry in advanced and please shut this thread down. I just created this topic because I don't want to feel like I just wasted my money in buying these tickets. Not to mention, that... you know...I'd be missing out on PWG's tenth anniversary show.

Michielle Yong, July 15th , 2020.
Tray ceilings are a contemporary architectural feature that have ended up in way too many traditional style homes. They try to fill our need for unique detail in our otherwise generic interiors. A tray ceiling, which is an inverted or recessed ceiling, creates the illusion of height. Depending on the type of wood and colors you choose, you can make the room look traditional, contemporary or even rustic. Wooden planks or reclaimed wood are great options for that rustic effect.
Enhance your dining room with the addition of an area rug. From simple to bold, the colors and shape you choose are up to you and your home's decorative style. If possible, buy your area rug when you buy your dining room table. This will help you when the color matching and decision time comes. If you buy separate, try to keep the dining room set and carpet neutral.

Asia and the IMF
October 7, 2013
As Asia grows in economic importance, relations between it and the IMF are also being revitalized. Both the Fund and the countries of the region have drawn lessons from past experience and are strengthening a partnership that will build on the region's economic success and resilience.
Asia's growing influence
Asia emerged from the global financial crisis with its standing strengthened, and is expected to become the largest economic region within the next two decades. This reflects its high degree of integration into global trading and financial systems, and a growing internal momentum.
Given its rise, it is natural that Asia should increase its influence in global economic and financial discourse. This trend is already well underway. Six of the Group of Twenty (G-20) economies are from the Asia-Pacific region. Once the 2010 IMF quota and voice reforms are implemented, Asia will hold well over 20 percent of the Fund's voting shares. This will bring Asia's representation at the Fund more closely into line with its position in the world economy.
Asia's increasing influence is also being reflected in the composition of the IMF management team. Two of its four Deputy Managing Directors are from Asia: Naoyuki Shinohara from Japan, and Min Zhu from China. In addition, the 2012 Annual Meetings of the IMF/World Bank Group were held in Tokyo, in recognition of the economic importance of Asia, and on the 60th anniversary of Japan's membership of the IMF and World Bank.
Key aspects of the Fund's engagement
The recent global financial crisis and reforms underway at the IMF suggest that the Fund has much to offer in the region. Benefits include:
Economic monitoring and advice: The Fund's surveillance work is being enhanced to strengthen its regional focus, including on Asia. This includes an annual report on the regional economic outlook for Asia. With its global perspective and enhanced focus on vulnerabilities and potential spillovers, Fund surveillance can deepen the analysis of individual countries and regions. In addition, by working in cooperation with Asia and other regional groupings, the Fund can help inform peer group assessments such as those undertaken by the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) and the ASEAN+3 (Association of Southeast Asian Nations plus China, Japan, and Korea). Asian countries also participate in the Fund's Financial Sector Assessment Program, established in 1999, to provide a comprehensive analysis of a country's financial sector.
Technical assistance and training: The Fund has increasingly adopted a regional approach to the delivery of technical assistance (TA) and training. As well as providing technical assistance to individual countries, it operates eight regional technical assistance centers, including one in the Pacific—the Pacific Financial Technical Assistance Center—that delivers technical assistance and training to 16 Pacific Island countries. In addition, the establishment, in 2012, of the Thailand Technical Assistance Office for Lao P.D.R. and Myanmar (TAOLAM), will help tailor the Fund's TA for these countries. The Fund also runs regional training programs in China and Singapore.
Strengthening safety nets: As part of its efforts to support countries during the global financial crisis, the Fund expanded its lending capacity and is continuing to seek ways to further enhance its lending facilities. Also, building on the recent experience of lending in cooperation with partners in Europe, the Fund is exploring the scope for greater collaboration with other regional financing arrangements, including the Chiang Mai Initiative in Asia.
Sharing of knowledge: Asia will need to build on its robust structural foundations and policy frameworks to address near and long-term challenges. Leveraging the know-how acquired from many countries and regions, the Fund can assist Asia in the process of transformation and smooth integration into the global economy. In return, the Fund benefits from its dialogue with Asian member countries, including on how best to work with regional institutions.
Lessons from the Asian crisis
Many people in the region experienced considerable hardship during the 1997–98 Asian Financial Crisis. At the time, the Fund and others extended large financing arrangements to provide breathing room for implementation of deep but necessary reforms. Since then, many of the economies that suffered from the crisis have performed remarkably well. Asia's resilience during the recent global financial crisis is testament to the enduring benefits of the often-difficult reforms undertaken during the past 15 years.
The Fund learned important lessons from the Asian crisis. In particular, the Fund recognized that while deep economic problems require substantial measures, the conditions accompanying its programs should be more selective and focus more narrowly on the problems at hand. Moreover, the Fund has become more attuned to the social impact of its programs. It has sought to apply these and other lessons to its more recent lending programs around the world.
The future for Asia and the IMF
Asia's contribution to the Fund: The commitment of major Asian countries to the Fund was highlighted during the global financial crisis. Several Asian countries agreed to bolster the Fund's lending capacity. Japan was the first, providing US$100 billion in bilateral borrowing. China, India, Korea, and Singapore also agreed to increase their contributions to the New Arrangements to Borrow (NAB), and the Central Banks of Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand also agreed to join the NAB. In the context of the 2009 Low-Income-Country Financing Package to boost the Fund's concessional lending capacity, a number of Asian countries provided loan resources and subsidy resources to the Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust.
IMF's presence in the region: The Fund is committed to fostering a closer dialogue and two-way engagement with Asia to develop a shared vision that will promote sustained economic growth in Asia and the world. As part of that commitment, the Fund's Asia and Pacific Department established a regional advisory group comprising renowned economic experts from Asia. Another dimension of that engagement involves the greater presence of the Fund in the region, through a major regional office in Tokyo and local Resident Representative offices (a new Resident Representative office will be opened in Myanmar in 2013), as well as through the co-hosting of conferences with regional partners.

Sharks to Remain Competitive While Getting Youngerby Staff Writer / San Jose Sharks
The psychological wounds from his team's historic collapse against the Los Angeles Kings in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs were still raw in late June when San Jose Sharks general manager Doug Wilson held his annual press conference before the NHL Draft.
A few weeks after saying the Sharks needed to take "one step backwards to be in a position to go two steps forward," Wilson said they were fully committed to "rebuilding" and were braced for the "pain" that goes with that process. He said the Sharks "now become a tomorrow team," after making 10 straight trips to the postseason.
Despite those dire warnings, San Jose approaches training camp with largely the same team that finished second in the powerful Pacific Division with 111 points.
The Sharks bought out forward Marty Havlat's contract, traded defenseman Brad Stuart to the Colorado Avalanche and traded defenseman Dan Boyle's rights to the New York Islanders. The Islanders did not sign Boyle and he inked a free-agent deal with the New York Rangers.
2013-14 record: 51-22-9, 111 points, 2nd in Pacific Division, 4th in Western Conference
2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs: Lost in Western Conference First Round to Los Angeles Kings in seven games
Additions: LW John Scott, F Tye McGinn, C Micheal Haley, LW Bryan Lerg, D Taylor Fedun.
Subtractions: D Dan Boyle, D Brad Stuart, RW Marty Havlat
Pending free agents: LW Bracken Kearns (UFA), RW Matt Pelech (UFA)
Promotion candidates: D Mirco Mueller, D Matt Tennyson, D Taylor Doherty, C Freddie Hamilton, RW Eriah Hayes, F Tye McGinn, F Chris Tierney, D Taylor Fedun, C Micheal Haley, LW Bryan Lerg
Top 2014 NHL Draft picks: F Nikolay Goldobin (No. 27); D Julius Bergman (No. 46); F Noah Rod (No. 53)
Every other key player is back, including Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, Joe Pavelski, Logan Couture, Brent Burns, Tomas Hertl and Marc-Edouard Vlasic. Former Buffalo Sabres forward John Scott, a 6-foot-8, 259-pound physical presence, was the only veteran free-agent addition.
Wilson said in August that the Sharks remain committed to rebuilding through the draft and giving their prospects every opportunity to make the team, but he softened his warnings of near-term pain. He said the Sharks will be "very competitive" this season and compared this team to the one in 2003-04, his first season as general manager.
"We did this in '03-04, repeated the same approach," Wilson said. "The only player we really added in '03-04 was Scotty Parker to bring that sheriff, that physicality and deterrent, so the young players could play, and we went to the third round and had 104 points. You can have a very good young team, be going through this phase and still compete in this League, and that's our belief."
Couture, for one, expects to Sharks to make the playoffs and contend for the Stanley Cup. He said they'll use last season's bitter ending, which saw them blow a 3-0 series lead to the rival Kings, as motivational fuel.
"We have to," Couture said. "There's no other way to deal with something like this. You can't sulk about it anymore. You got to build off it. Individually it has to make you stronger and as a team it has to make you stronger and as an organization it has to make you stronger as well. I think we've got the right people in San Jose to build from this, and I believe we will."
"We want to win the Stanley Cup, so those are my expectations. Those are my expectations going into every season so far with the Sharks. We have a good enough team to win the Stanley Cup."
Wilson survived that meltdown, as did coach Todd McLellan and his entire staff. But changes are coming to the Sharks' leadership group. Earlier in the offseason, McLellan said he hoped to "reset the hierarchy and culture in the organization." He hinted that Thornton, who served as captain for the past four seasons, and Marleau, a former captain and long-time alternate, might lose those roles to younger players. In late August, McLellan announced that the Sharks would open camp without a captain or any alternates and that he'd fill those jobs based on merit and performance.
Although McLellan said Thornton and Marleau, like every other Shark, would be considered for those jobs, it's hard to believe those roles won't go to younger players such as Pavelski, Couture and Vlasic.
"That is a clean slate," Wilson said. "There are no letters on anybody's shoulders. Those will be discussed and earned and decided in training camp on performance and how people come back."
Some of the biggest training-camp battles are expected to come on the blue line after the departure of Boyle and Stuart. Burns is returning to defense after playing forward almost two full seasons, and some promising young defensemen are pushing to make the team. That group includes Mirco Mueller, San Jose's top draft pick in 2013, as well as Taylor Doherty, a second-round pick in 2009, and Matt Tennyson.
Raffi Torres' setback from last September's reconstructive surgery on his right knee could open the door for a young forward. Torres, who missed most of last season, will have a second major operation to repair his ACL and will likely miss much of this season.
Freddie Hamilton and Eriah Hayes each played double-digit games for the Sharks last season and could make the team out of camp. Tye McGinn, acquired from the Philadelphia Flyers for a third-round draft pick, is another candidate; the younger brother of former Sharks forward Jamie McGinn, had four goals and one assist in 18 games for the Flyers last season. Chris Tierney, a second-round draft pick in 2012, could also make a strong push.
"There should always be jobs available for someone to come in and take them, take them from someone," Couture said. "Guys are going to need to be ready from the start. It is going to be a competitive camp."

Happy Monday everyone!
I had an exhausting weekend so I feel like today should be Saturday. Hopefully this week turns
out to be more relaxing than I think it will be. I'm ordering a few new furniture pieces as well as a high chair for Israel-it's almost time for solid foods!
I'm wishing my dining room looked as pulled together and inviting as some of these.

Opens tomorrow. You must go see. Up in the Air has scored a 92% rating among Top Critics on Rotten Tomatoes, it's considered a major contender during awards season, and this is George Clooney's best performance.
I screened it with a theatre full of journalists at TIFF. They were guffawing in their seats, charmed by Anna Kendrick, delighted by her chemistry with Clooney, and very moved during the moments when it counted. I loved this film. It's my favourite so far of the year, resonating personally on so many levels, starting of course with the most superficial.
On the surface, Up in the Air is about business travelling. I business travel a lot. 2009 to date it's been 20 trips. Less than last year which was 23 trips. The year before was even more at 25 trips. This doesn't count personal trips and holidays. So on average I'm on a plane every other week. When you fly that often you fall into a groove. It's a precise, exact science. And since I'm neurotic to begin with, my sh-t has to be just so. But most business travellers, even though they'll never admit it, are similar in their approach. There is a routine. It is efficient. Efficiency is key. And Jason Reitman captures this brilliantly. If you are a business traveller, these small details will have you nodding your head. If you are not a full time traveller, perhaps these small details will help you travel more efficiently. Like, I can't understand why people insist on keeping their belts on, and refuse to remove ALL THE CHANGE from their pockets even though they've been asked to at least 3 times before security screening. Listening skills shut down at the airport – why is that?
Anyway, George's character Ryan Bingham has no attachments. He loves it this way. He loves it in the air. His most significant relationship is the one he has with his airline membership club, hoping to earn enough points to join an elite frequent flier secret society with lifelong benefits.
Again, this is my language. I am obsessed with my points. I'm not stingy with them like he is but points mean access, and access means time savings. Access allows me to arrive at the airport at the last possible minute, rush through the fast lane, and board before everyone else. And my luggage comes out first. Which means I'm in the car, heading to the hotel, and able to get online sooner rather than later.
Half an hour here and there may not mean much to some, but when you operate online, and homewrecking and catfighting occurs frequently, every minute matters. Content must be constant. A five hour plane right with an hour wait time tagged on the top and bottom is a major buzzkill. Also, I like the upgrade certificates.
But as mentioned earlier, this is just the background. And while Ryan's life is steeped in superficiality and business travel efficiency, ironically it is business efficiency that threatens to derail his plans. He is a corporate firing freelancer, brought in to terminate with practised, professional detachment. But the economy is dying, robots are cheaper, the impersonal approach saves money, and his impersonal approach is now too expensive, just when he's beginning to question whether or not flying is enough.
Would you fight irrelevance if doing so means confirming that nothing about your life was relevant in the first place? Don't be afraid. This is existentialism in tangible form without dumbing it down to the MiniVan. And that is Reitman's great gift – his films are accessible but not stupid, with a tone that, in the deeper social context, can resonate with the majority at no cost to creative integrity.
This is not a heavy handed movie. It doesn't tell you how to feel or when to cry or when to be uplifted, if at all. You will not exit the theatre feeling exhausted from emotion. There is no Hollywood swell and a fist pump to follow. Up in the Air is smarter than that without trying to make you feel not smart enough. In the end, to me anyway, it's about the value of our connections, and the fallacies we place on them, and whether or not, if we have the capacity to change, it would make us any happier.
Look forward to your comments after. We'll do a chat room.
Here are Anna Kendrick and Vera Farmiga at the LA premiere on Monday. As you know, Kendrick is my girl but that dress was a bad choice. She was outplayed by Vera in their whites.

For those who stutter, this research is big news: Three genetic mutations have been identified in the brains of people who stutter, located in the part of the brain where speech is controlled. It's not a cure, and may not be the only cause, but finding any source for stuttering is what's significant, researchers say. From the CNN story:
Roughly 3 million people in the United States stutter, according to the National Institutes of Health. About 60 percent of those with the disorder have a family member who also stutters. The condition is most common among children, although about 1 percent of people carry the condition through adulthood, according to the Stuttering Foundation of America.

There are three important things you should keep in mind when buying a solid-state drive: capacity, performance, and pricing. And the new Samsung 840 Evo makes things easy by offering them all, and more.
The new drive is a replacement for Samsung's previous
At the current price of well under $1 per gigabyte -- the 1TB capacity costs just $650, or about 65 cents per gigabyte -- the Samsung 840 Evo is the best deal on the market now, ranking at the top of the current best SSD list. If you're looking for an SSD to upgrade your computer's hard drive with or want to upgrade your existing SSD to a larger-capacity drive, the 840 Evo is as good as it gets.
The Samsung 840 Evo looks the same as the older 840 Series, but now comes in dark gray. The drive supports the popular 7-millimeter, 2.5-inch design and features the latest SATA 3 (6Gbps) standard. It also works with previous versions of the SATA standard.
|Drive type
|7mm-thick, 2.5-inch standard internal drive
|Connector type
|SATA 6Gbps (compatible with SATA 3Gbps and SATA 1.5Gbps)
|120GB, 250GB, 500GB, 750GB, and 1TB
|Review capacity
|Samsung MEX controller
|NAND flash memory
|1x nm Samsung Toggle DDR 2.0
|Sequential read:
|Up to 540MBps
|Sequential write:
|Up to 520MBps (250GB/500GB/750GB/1TB), and up to 410MBps (120GB)
|4KB Random read (QD1):
|Up to 10,000 IOPS
|4KB Random write (QD1):
|Up to 33,000 IOPS
|4KB Random read (QD32):
|Up to 98,000 IOPS (500GB/750GB/1TB); up to 97,000 IOPS; (250GB); up to 94,000 IOPS (120GB)
|4KB Random write (QD32):
|Up to 90,000 IOPS (500GB/750GB/1TB); up to 66,000 IOPS (250GB); up to 35,000 IOPS (120GB)
|AES 256-bit Full Disk Encryption (FDE)
|1.9 ounces
|MTBF: 1.5 million hours
|3 years limited
The drive is available in five capacities, 120GB, 250GB, 500GB, 750GB, and 1TB, all of which come with the Samsung Data Migration Tool and Samsung Magician Software included. The former is an advanced cloning program that helps you move data from one drive to another without having to reinstall the operating system or software; and the latter is a set of powerful tools for customizing the drive.
To help make life even easier for upgraders, the drive is also available in a Desktop Kit version for the 120GB and 250GB capacities, and a Laptop Kit version for the 250GB and 500GB capacities, respectively costing $15 more and $10 more than if you buy just the SSD itself. The Desktop Kit includes a drive bay converter caddy, a 2.5mm spacer to bring the thickness of the drive to the 9.5mm standard, a CD of software, and a USB 3.0-to-SATA adapter. The Laptop Kit consists of just the software, the spacer, and the USB 3.0-to-SATA adapter.
With either of these kits, folks can quickly clone their computer's existing hard drive to an 840 Evo, without having to get extra equipment. The software CD contains the above-mentioned Samsung Data Migration Tool and Samsung Magician Software, which can also be downloaded from Samsung's Web site.
Useful software, flexible configuration
Like previous Samsung SSDs, the 840 Evo doesn't come with overprovisioning out of the box. Instead you can turn this feature on and off using the Samsung Magician Software. Overprovisioning is a feature that uses part of an SSD's storage space to enhance the drive's performance. Thanks to this, the 840 Evo offers the flexibility to choose between maximum speed or capacity.
Using the Samsung Magician Software, you can also check the SSD's health status and securely erase its data, or tune up the operating system settings to maximize the drive's speed and endurance.
Modern and performance-oriented software and hardware features
There are a couple of things that help make the 840 Evo so fast.
Firstly, Samsung Magician now offers a new function, introduced in the 840 Evo, called Rapid mode, which can be turned on or off with a click. When on, Rapid automatically uses part of the host computer's system memory (RAM) as cache to further boost the drive's performance. Depending on the available RAM, Rapid uses between 500MB and 2GB for this purpose. In my test, Rapid indeed significantly improved the drive's performance.
Secondly, in the area of hardware, the new drive uses a new and improved Samsung MEX controller, which is based on the three-core MDX controller used in the 840 Pro, and its fast Toggle DDR 2.0 NAND flash memory. The drive also has improved firmware to deliver significantly faster performance than the 840 Series.

A new effort at Hope College will focus on inspiring a brighter future for the local elementary-age and high school students participating in the Children's After School Achievement (CASA) and Upward Bound program at Hope.
A new effort at Hope College will focus on inspiring a brighter future for the local elementary-age and high school students participating in the Children's After School Achievement (CASA) and Upward Bound program at Hope.
The Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) has awarded a "Brighter Futures" grant to the college for activities to help the two programs place additional emphasis on overcoming obstacles to academic success and preparing the students to think about their futures. The $6,000 grant has been awarded to Dr. Deborah Sturtevant of the college's sociology and social work faculty through MCC's "Investing in College Futures Learn and Serve" program, and will provide support matched by Hope and the business community as students in the department develop the additional activities on CASA's and Upward Bound's behalf.
CASA, a community organization housed at Hope, focuses on academic and cultural enrichment for at-risk second-through fifth-grade students. The program, which runs year-round, is intended to improve the students' academic performance by providing the tools they need to succeed in school.
The students meet after school twice per week in one-on-one sessions with volunteer tutors, most of whom are Hope students, throughout the school year, and in the mornings during a six-week summer session. The academic-year and summer programs serve Holland and West Ottawa students. A total of 140 students participated in the 2006-07 school-year program.
Upward Bound seeks to generate the skills and motivation necessary for success in education beyond high school among students from low-income and first-generation families who have the potential to pursue a college education but may lack adequate preparation or support. The goal of the program is to increase the academic performance and motivational levels of eligible students so that they may complete secondary schooling and successfully pursue post-secondary educational programs.
During the school year the Upward Bound students come to campus twice per week to receive help in their high school subjects from Hope tutors and attend a variety of workshops and other enrichment events, and during a six-week summer residential program the students experience the academic and social world of college. Established in 1968, Upward Bound serves 75 students a year from the Holland, West Ottawa and Fennville school districts. Hope College Upward Bound is funded through the TRIO program of the U.S. Department of Education.
The expanded programming supported by the "Brighter Futures" grant will provide the CASA children with information concerning career possibilities and the way that education will support them in achieving their goals. The new programming will be created and run by students in Sturtevant's "Introduction to Social Welfare" class, with additional involvement by the high school students in the Upward Bound program also based at Hope and several others. A leadership role is being played by Hope senior Lisa Pusinelli, who is Sturtevant's student assistant and helped write the grant proposal in addition to serving as a tutor with CASA.
"CASA is an exciting, challenging program which has blessed me with the opportunity to connect with a child and build a positive relationship," said Pusinelli, a social work major from Western Springs, Ill. "The 'Brighter Futures' program exposes CASA students to options that they may not have dreamed possible, but our goal through the program is to inspire the students to dream bigger and shoot for future goals despite the many obstacles that stand in their way."
Through a "dare to dream" day, local minority leaders will speak about their background and experiences and their pathway to success. In conjunction with the day, the CASA students will team up with Hope student mentors to explore careers and develop career maps.
On "go to college days" the CASA students will be given additional exposure to the college environment. They and their mentors will attend mini-lectures delivered by members of the Hope faculty and take a tour of the campus through a scavenger hunt activity.
The Upward Bound students will participate in an event at the capitol in Lansing during a "civic engagement day." In anticipation of the event, they will write letters to present to legislators concerning their experiences in Upward Bound.
Michigan Campus Compact is a state-level, non-profit organization that promotes the education and commitment of Michigan college students to be civically engaged citizens, through creating and expanding academic, co-curricular and campus-wide opportunities for community service, service-learning and civic engagement. More than 40 Michigan colleges and universities are members of MCC.
The "Investing in College Futures Learn and Serve" program provides support for MCC member campuses that wish to partner with a community agency in order to benefit disadvantaged youth and positively reinforce the merits of higher education among current college students and disadvantage youth. The goal is also to strengthen the members' emphasis on service and service-learning while engaging the institutions in issues concerning disadvantaged youth.

is this correct? The best accuracy of readPixels in WebGL is GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE (8Bit for every color channel) ?
Actually I use readPixels to get the surfacepoint of an object. I draw the object with colored objectcoords. (left point X is dark red, right point X is bright red, Y is green and Z is blue) I get the RGB Color and I can calculate the surface point.
But with 8Bit there are only 256 different points per axle. The gl_fragcolor use float per color.
There are only shortInt packed formats not implemented yet? All colors packed into 16 Bit?
So I have to combine the 8 Bits three times to get 16Mio Points per axle and redraw the object 3 times for every axle?
Sorry about my english.

Video: 'Look Around You - Water'
What is water? According to Look Around You, it's impossible to describe, but they carry out a few highly controlled experiments to unlock the mysteries behind this element, H-twenty. Watch this video after the jump.
'Look Around You - Water'
Look Around You is a BBC comedy series from 2002 spoofing educational films of the 1970s and 1980s, and one of my favorite things that has thankfully yet to be removed from YouTube. Although not a timely video, I've recently found out, to my horror, that many of my friends have yet to watch this series; if I'm sharing it with them, I want to share it with you too. Besides that the series is hilarious, I need more people that I can say "Thants" and "Blants" to who know what the hell I'm talking about.

ISSA joins Coalition for Fair Effective Tax Rates
ISSA has joined the Coalition for Fair Effective Tax Rates as a steering committee member to allow the association to take a more active role in representing the interests of all members in the ongoing debate about tax policy in the US.
The goal of the coalition is to educate the US Congress and key stakeholders that any tax reform proposals should be viewed through the lens of effective - not marginal or statutory - tax rates.
"It is critical that policy-makers measure tax reform on the basis of effective rates-what businesses actually pay," argues ISSA Executive Director John Garfinkel. "Only by addressing effective tax rates can tax reform truly level the playing field and correct the current system in which low-rate payers shift the tax burden to industries and companies that pay close to or more than the statutory rate."
The coalition seeks to:
- Establish effective tax rate fairness as the best metric to make meaningful comparisons among policy choices and how they would impact different business types and industries
- Use this metric to bolster the supporters of comprehensive tax reform that broadens the tax base while lowering the rates for corporations, pass-through businesses, and individuals
- Impress upon lawmakers and key stakeholders the negative impact that high effective tax rates have on American businesses.
"Joining the Coalition for Fair Effective Tax Rates as a steering committee member provides ISSA with the opportunity to better represent the interests of our members as the national debate on tax reform begins to heat up," explains John.
As the leading trade association for the cleaning industry worldwide, ISSA is committed to helping its members change the way the world views cleaning. The association provides its members with the business tools they need to promote the vision that cleaning is an investment in human health, the environment, and an improved bottom line.

Yet another group of students have taken the dive and started their own Tiny House; it is very exciting to see students getting exposed to alternative housing options! Even better that they are building Tiny Houses out of reclaimed materials for under $2000! The house is 8 feet by 12 feet and fully insulated, all that is left is to add plumbing and a solar electrical system.
During the design and construction process, students adhered to sustainable building practices including use of reclaimed materials whenever possible. Some of the lumber and windows came from Re-New Building Materials and Salvage in Brattleboro, Vt. The threshold to the front door is slate from a local quarry. The door and windows were also recycled.
